Basel-Country is closely interwoven with the city of Basel: many residents work in Basel and use its hospitals, while the Kantonsspital Baselland anchors care within the canton. For basic insurance the canton is divided into two premium regions — your municipality of residence is decisive, so moving within the canton can change your premium.

How many premium regions does the canton of Basel-Country have?▼
Basel-Country is divided into two premium regions. Which one applies depends on your municipality: the communes close to Basel in the lower part of the canton fall into a different region than the more rural areas. The same insurer's tariff can therefore differ depending on where you live.
What should insured persons in Basel-Country pay attention to?▼
When moving within the canton, check whether your premium region changes — this is often overlooked. HMO and group practices are readily available in the Basel agglomeration, while in the Oberbaselbiet and Laufental the family-doctor model is usually the more practical choice. If you want treatment in Basel's city hospitals, make sure you understand the hospital-choice rules of your model.
How do I switch health insurer in the canton of Basel-Country?▼
Your written cancellation of basic insurance must reach your current insurer by 30 November at the latest. The old contract ends on 31 December and the new one starts on 1 January. Health checks are not permitted in basic insurance — every insurer must accept you unconditionally.
